Confucius Essential: A Person Full Of Goodness

According to what the master thinks and says a true gentleman is one that is guided by goodness. I really agree with what the master tells its pupils to act as and how. The master sets like some kind of rules, but they don’t seem like rules. He just tries to tell them how should a good person be like and that are his pupil’s standards. This really seems like a way to establish rules without setting limits. Normally you are accustomed that rules are given to you like in boundaries and with commands, but here the master shows us a way that is not that way but a more kind and better way. I personally believe that if you tell a person to behave themselves with bad words and roughly it is harder to convince him than if you are more kind and helpful with them.
People are always been taught this one phrase “What I do not wish other to do unto me, I also wish not to do unto others.” 5.12. What this means is that you should not do to others what you do not want them to do to you. I think this rule goes beyond the literal. This phrase or rule must be one of the first rules of humanity because without it world would be chaos everyone doing what they want. This phrase I think it was done for people to be able to make good in all their decisions but also was some ay to rule the people. The master says to never have found a person full of goodness. I think this is a state that can’t be determined by someone else. Only one knows if he or she has been good in every aspect. It can’t be measured by anyone or by anything because it depends on your effort out of the whole you can do.
